Trimming and Pruning Best Practices

Trimming and pruning of trees and shrubs is essential to maintaining the appeal of your homes landscape.

Trees

The ideal time to prune a tree is when it is dormant, from late fall to early spring. The worst time to prune trees is late spring and early summer when their leaves are expanding and the tree is putting its energy toward growth. However, certain species must be trimmed within a more specific window in order to reduce the potential for disease.

Oaks are susceptible to “Oak Wilt” after trimming. As such, it is recommended that oaks be pruned no earlier than November and no later than April 1st.

Birches, AmericanElms, Maples, and Walnuts should be pruned no later than January to allow the freshly exposed wood to harden before sap flow begins.

Shrubs to prune mid-June or later (when they’re done blooming):

Testimonials

Don’t just take our word for it, see what some previous customers have said!

Highly recommend them!!! Very professional company, very professional crew. Used them to do a very large job. Damian was very quick to respond to my calls, came to do my estimate after hours & came from about 20 mins away. Damian & his crew did EXCELLENT work! I had to cut down about 26 trees as well as remove a ton of underbrush. They worked long hours to get the job done quickly & efficiently. Very professional in his business ethics & at the same time made me feel like my job was his own home project. The crew was very detailed on their cleanup. I had talked to many people about tree companies & the main comment was, watch the gotcha fees at the end for cleanup. Damian let me know upfront what to expect & there were no hidden gotcha fees at the end. Damian made sure my wife & I were happy as he moved on from section to section in our 2 acre yard. Before he left, he did a final walk through with us & made sure we were satisfied. Would use them again in an instant! Great work, thanks!
